1. Error (BC30205): "end of"-Anweisung erwartet. (line 96)
So i try to convert the Points3d to Strings:
v1 = (x(i).ToString())
or
v1 = (x(i).ToString("N10"))
With the result:
1. Conversion from type 'Point3d' to type 'String' is not valid. (line: 0)
So how can I extract a Data to compare the points and if equal is true do whatever I want. on my Linecomparescript ist works:
Ly = (y(i + 1).getlength())
Lx = (x(i).getlength())
If Lx.ToString("N10") = Ly.ToString("N10") Then i = i + 1End If
'cause there is only one Double inside.
THX for your ideas!…
ino al suo utilizzo per la risoluzione di tematiche di modellazione complessa di ARCHITETTURA e DESIGN.Durante le lezioni si insegneranno i comandi avanzati del software Rhinoceros ed inoltre i discenti, alla fine del percorso formativo saranno anche in grado di creare modelli attraverso il linguaggio della Plug-in avanzata Grasshopper(http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo).
Il workshop si divide in due moduli che possono essere frequentati anche separatamente:
STRUTTURA
mod.1 _MODELLAZIONE BASE con Rhinoceros | Venerdì 14 Dicembre e Sabato 15 Dicembre | dalle 10,00 alle 19,00
Scadenza iscrizione: Lunedì 10 Dicembre
mod.2 _MODELLAZIONE AVANZATA con Rhinoceros e Grasshopper | Domenica 16 Dicembre e Lunedì 17 Dicembre | dalle 10,00 alle 19,00
Scadenza iscrizione: Mercoledì 12 Dicembre
SINTESI
mod.1 _MODELLAZIONE BASE con Rhinoceros
L’obbiettivo del corso è quello di insegnare in tempi brevi, gli strumenti base della modellazione 2D e 3D e la renderizzazione dei modelli creati. Le ore saranno dedicate allo studio dell’interfaccia del software Rhinoceros e all’apprendimento dei comandi base per la gestione del documento di progetto; si approfondiranno i comandi più utilizzati per l’editing e la costruzione del disegno per arrivare alle operazioni booleane semplici e complesse. Inoltre si imparerà a costruire e trasformare curve e superfici free-form. Le nozioni ed i metodi verranno trasmessi trattando temi e problematiche reali di design ed architettura.
mod.2 _MODELLAZIONE AVANZATA con Rhinoceros e Grasshopper
Il secondo modulo tratterà forme complesse implementando la modellazione avanzata di Rhinoceros con le potenzialità espresse dalla plug-in Grasshopper. La plug-in di Rhinoceros permette di disegnare abbandonando l’usuale interfaccia dei software di rappresentazione, consentendo un rapporto più diretto con il linguaggio proprio del computer: la programmazione. Questo cambiamento porta ad una radicale variazione del rapporto che il progettista ha con lo strumento di rappresentazione digitale. I partecipanti saranno orientati verso un nuovo rapporto con le forme create che oltre ad essere frutto di trasformazioni delle entità primitive che Rhinoceros propone, si costruiranno anche in relazione a parametri variabili.
Nel corso si imparerà a comporre algoritmi semplici, di carattere principalmente geometrico, in grado di generare forme e gestire i comportamenti delle stesse se sottoposte a variabili esterne.
In fine si imparerà a confrontarsi con un contesto evolutivo, che influenza i parametri della rappresentazione portando a dei modelli dinamici.

is called TouchOSC (http://www.hexler.net/software/touchosc).
Basically, what TouchOSC does is sends a message over UDP, but it's formatted according to the OSC specification (http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0). Firefly (and Ghowl) both have UDP/OSC receivers (although they work slightly differently). Basically, you have a sender (your phone) and a receiver (your computer) and the sender has to know the IP address of the receiver and they both have to know which port they want to communicate on. The port can really be any number you want. So, when launching the TouchOSC app, you need to go into the settings and specify the IP address of your computer and the port you want to use. Then, just pick a layout and start moving sliders to send the data. On the Firefly side, just drop a OSC listener component onto the canvas and specify the same port number you put into the app. Then, connect a Timer component to the OSC listener to get it automatically refresh at a given interval. The data should come over as a data tree, and you can extract the header of the message, or the actual value using the standard Data Tree components.
The one thing you may want to know is that some networks will restrict communications over UDP (particularly those at schools, or other institutions). I would recommend starting out using your home router, which hopefully doesn't have these restrictions. If you do want to use it at a school, you may need to create an ad-hoc network and make sure your phone and computer are both on that same network. Other than that, it should be pretty straight forward. Hopefully this gets you started.

starting mesh. The geometry of the lines is then modified, through the formfinding routine.
In my second vb component, I need to build an array with 4 columns. Each row represent one face of the mesh (row 0 for face 0, row1 for face 1, ...) and each column represent the number of the edge element. If ABCD is the quad face, column 0 is the number of the edge AB, column 1 is BC, column 2 is CD and column 3 is DA.
So to build this array, I extract the edges of each face with FaceB component then Explode component, and I build the array by comparing each line coming from this to each line coming from MEdges component, with a 2 level nested loop. Here is where I am looking for an efficient way to compare 2 lines...
Is there an easier and faster way to build this array ?…

But with my script, I canot align the center of gravity with the center of buoyancy longitudinally.
What I would like to do is to have 3 inputs:
- Heel angle (Degrees)
- Displacement (Tons)
- Center of gravity position of the ship (X, Y, Z)
And the script acts on the hull depth (like now) AND on the trim angle, so the GC and BC can be aliged longitudinally.
Anobody has an idea ?

nowledge, tools, materials and machines. The Clusters provide a focus for workshop participants working together within a common framework.
Clusters provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, processes and techniques and act as a catalyst for design resolution. The Workshop is made up of ten Clusters that respond in diverse ways to the sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities. The Call for Clusters is now open to proposals which respond in innovative ways to this year's challenge.
Deadline: September 19 2011

sg2012 takes place from 19-24 March 2012 at EMPAC (http://empac.rpi.edu/) and is hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, upstate New York USA. The Workshop and Conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts: a four day Workshop 19-22 March, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 23 March, followed by a Symposium 24 March. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events sg2010 Barcelona and sg2011 Copenhagen.
sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities
Simulation, Energy, Environment
Imagine the design space of architecture was no longer at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.
The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information.Material potential is defined by multiple properties: acoustical, chemical, electrical, environmental, magnetic, manufacturing, mechanical, optical, radiological, sensorial, and thermal. The challenge for sg2012 Material Intensities is to consider material economy when creating environments, micro-climates and contexts congenial for social interaction, activities and organisation. This challenge calls for design innovation and dialogue between disciplines and responsibilities.sg2010 Working Prototypes strove to emancipate digital design from the hard drive by moving from the virtual to the actual in wrestling with the tangible world of physical fabrication. sg2011 Building the Invisible focused on informing digital design with real world data. sg2012 Material Intensities strives to energise our digital prototypes and infuse them with material behaviour. They have the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.

onsidered period.
Even if the end of July for the mediterranean climate is not the best period to perform an adaptive comfort analysis (it's just a pretest to define a LB model) I want to refine the Adaptive comfort Chart (AC) by changing the external air temperature data imported from the .epw file with that of monitored data as reported here below:
Where the monitored ext air temperature are in this form (green panel below):
I have used the comfortPar component to set the following parameters:
Adaptive chart as defined by EN 15251
90% of occupants comfortable
the prevailing outdoor temperature from a weighted running mean of the last week
fully conditioned space (even if it is not properly in line with AC as already discussed)
The question is this: the AC component could correctly apply the code below if there is only a list of external temperature data for a restricted period (without indication about the limits of this period) and not for an entire year?
else: #Calculate a running mean temperature. alpha = 0.8 divisor = 1 + alpha + math.pow(alpha,2) + math.pow(alpha,3) + math.pow(alpha,4) + math.pow(alpha,5) dividend = (sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-24:-1] + [_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-1]])/24) + (alpha*(sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-48:-24])/24)) + (math.pow(alpha,2)*(sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-72:-48])/24)) + (math.pow(alpha,3)*(sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-96:-72])/24)) + (math.pow(alpha,4)*(sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-120:-96])/24)) + (math.pow(alpha,5)*(sum(_prevailingOutdoorTemp[-144:-120])/24)) startingTemp = dividend/divisor if startingTemp < 10: coldTimes.append(0) outdoorTemp = _prevailingOutdoorTemp[7:] startingMean = sum(outdoorTemp[:24])/24 dailyRunMeans = [startingTemp] dailyMeans = [startingMean] prevailTemp.extend(duplicateData([startingTemp], 24)) startHour = 24

product_info&cPath=17&products_id=68). It's a little light on sensors, so you may want to look through the sensors page on the adafruit website and choose a few that look interesting to you. If you have a little more money, here are two other kits which have many more components that will help round out your electronics supply. Here is a good one for around $85 (http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=170). And here's another great one from SparkFun for around $95 (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10173). Of course, you can buy an Arduino Uno for around $29.99 and you can purchase each of these components separately and only choose the ones you need (and perhaps save some money)... but these are pretty good kits which include all the stuff you need to get started. Good luck.
